That's why I said to not rename existing stuff, but to consider changing default names for new things. Or don't. It's not the end of the world.

Honestly, while the controversy is incredibly stupid, it's not something to get worked up about. Not good for your heart 😜

You don't have to relabel anything, just keep using old names for old stuff and maybe consider switching to main for your next GitHub project? It's honestly not that big of a deal.

There are multiple reasons:

• for plenty of use cases where it's supposed to help, it just plain doesn't work (software engineering being my main use case, but it does not help find obscure songs/games either).
• it's fundamentally unsafe, which matters in a lot of cases where the evangelists want to put AI into.
• the resource usage to train models is crazy. To the point of delaying Google's carbon neutrality plans for instance. It's also expected to put a significant toll on energy grids worldwide for the years to come, which is the last thing we need on a burning planet.
• it's being pushed by evil actors like big tech billionaires, who aren't trusted to do the right things with the tech.
• it's already proven harmful (cf Air Canada's chatbot, or the idiots on today's other HN LLM subject saying they use it for medical advice or electric work among many examples)
• it's overhyped, much like crypto. Way too many promises, and it does not deliver.

My sentiment on the reliability is shared in my team, among people that used it a bit more: it's a garbage machine.

I do fear it might train a generation of software professionals that don't know how to code, which is going to harm them (unemployable) or the people they serve, but I might be overreacting due to the fact that the only a person I knew who claimed to use LLMs professionally was a hack who's using LLMs as a palliative for general lack of skills and low output. Come to think of it, this is precisely the kind of people that should be cautious around LLMs, because they can't review the LLM's output accurately for dangerous hallucinations.

I do ask ChatGPT questions sometimes, but honestly pretty rarely. I use it as a complement to regular search, and nothing more, because it can't get the basics right most of the time.

Multiple votes is not why we have secret ballots IRL. Votes during referenda where you don't vote for one candidate are also secret.

The purpose of secrecy is to protect from repercussions (ie worker vs boss, person vs family, tenant vs landlord...)

I'm not being pedantic. It matters here, because your votes can have repercussion if they're easy to see at all times. I don't want to be harassed because I downvoted an obsessive tankie.

I have better things to do with my time than just complain to admins/mods/mommy all day long.

I had to go through the experience of blocking stuff twice, and if I had to do that more, I'd just leave. I don't have time for that kind of toxicity in my life.

Yes there is. They might not bother most of the time because it's annoying. Having vote information accessible at a glance might create a situation where people have more sterile discussion and create more drama about votes because they see it. And that sounds annoying.

I hope I'm wrong.

Non, l'extrême gauche c'est LO, la LCR, le NPA. Le conseil d'état est clair, LFI n'est pas un parti d'extrême gauche.

👌

That's why transphobes shouldn't set the rules. And when the rules are set, there will be backlash, which needs to be ignored by the scientific community and the authorities governing professional sport.

This is a tall order, but I do think the question of where the line must be drawn to guarantee fairness is a question worth answering, preferrably not by me, because I don't have the credentials to deliberate on what's fair and what isn't. This is the role of science.

You're right. Determining what's fair and what isn't is a task non-transphobic scientists should be working on, not something you discuss lightly around a beer at a pub. There needs to be actual research.

Transphobes will probably not like the conclusions of that research, though...

Regulations in general contradict you. You're forced to wear a seatbelt whether you asked for it or not, even if you don't want to. Not sure how that related to trans rights or sports, though.
